In Chinese culture, we eat mooncakes in Mid-Autumn Holiday. It falls on the September 15th
according to lunar calendar. In olden days, people ate mooncakes to worship the Moon God. 
Now, mooncakes symbol family reunion. This year, I celebrated Mid-Autumn Holiday on 
October 1st at home. I missed many Chinese traditional holidays since I studied abroad. However,
this year, I went back home, I am not lonely during the holiday anymore.
